Let's Be Honest People, Floyd "Money" Mayweather Is The Reason Boxing Has Returned

[h2k]

I like mayweather and i always want him to be the face of boxing but let's be real here, all of my friends that were boxing fans for decade that love boxing were become less interested to watch when floyd was the #1 lb4lb, they always order the ppv specially for the high profile fights like dela hoya vs floyd and they end up feel like being robbed and told me that if that's the new style of boxing now we better find some other sports that could entertain and give us excitement. True story.

lol! Boxing doesn't need Floyd because of his boring style and avoiding real challenge by cherrypicking his opponents. He should apply in Usain Bolt camp as his assistance.

If Floyd's style is boring then how come he's the PPV king and the biggest cashcow in boxing right now? It says a lot about how entertaining he is as a fighter when you have millions of fans dishing out 60$ of their hard earned money in the middle of a recession to see him every time he fights.

Before the Oscar fight how manny millions his fans dishing out to buy his PPV? The Fact is Oscar populartiy (the real PPV king), Hatton and JMM people without backing their country man he won't get his million buys if he fights against nobody. Majority of boxing fans hate him and watch his fights just to see someone spank his ass. Once he lost he will go down in spiral and fades to nothingness unless he starts fighting someone now that has a chance of betting him.

First off, i'm not one of those people who ever thought boxing was dying. It obviously went through a dark patch for a couple of years and it's no coincidence that it's darkest time in recent memory was the 2 years Mayweather was retired.

While he was on hiatus, that gave the UFC room to gain some traction because boxing didnt have any stars capable of filling his shoes. It created this myth that the UFC was taking boxings spot which was swiftly shot down when Mayweather made his return against Marquez. Top Rank and HBO deserve some credit too for using their hype machine to convince people who don't know a lot about the sport that Pacquiao is as good as they claim he is, but clearly Mayweather was the driving force behind boxing making it's comeback.

The timeline of when boxing started "dying" then made it's return fits Mayweathers retirement schedule to a tee. Being the great sportsman that he is, Floyd has never brought it up but the guy deserves credit for almost single handedly putting the spark back into the sport.

exactly floyd is the sole reason on why boxing is where is at today

The talent disparity between Pac and Floyd will say it all..Floyd is on a level that cant be matched for his era.

that is what i say too nobody can matched floyd skills he is the greatest finally somebody who knows there ****

The funny thing is everyone wants a fight with floyd and yet everyone hates on him.

When he leaves for good..boxing won't be as fun.
